I Don't Care for Election Years - Livin' the Good Life

07:21 am - I Don't Care for Election Years

Every time I start feeling sorry for President Obama, I have to remind myself: He signed up for this. And if Romney wins the coming election, he, also, signed up for it. They signed up for being raked over the coals day after day by the opposition. (In a way, I hope Obama loses so I don't have to hear nasty, untrue accusations about my beloved president anymore.) If Romney wins, he too will endure endless criticism from the left, and any dirt found on him will be blown up way out of proportion and plastered over late night TV every night for either 4 or 8 years. When it comes to politics, we are a ruthless people. Steve and I are considering disconnecting our TV for a while.

We saw 2016 yesterday and it really made me feel sorry for Obama. What a sad childhood he had.

I agree that whoever is president will get slammed. But the media (as a whole) always goes easier on Democrats than they do for Republicans. Either way though, it's no walk in the park. I wish it were more like it was back in the day....where both sides showed more respect.
